The printed circuit board assembly process has undergone revolutionary changes over the past three decades. What once relied primarily on manual component insertion and wave soldering has transformed ...

Surface mounting is an efficient technique for PCB assembly if the proper process is followed. The printed circuit board is usually laminated and integrated with solder pads. These pads are plated ...

Würth Elektronik has restructured its SMT spacers for PCBs to use lead-free alloys. This gives electronics manufacturers greater planning certainty in view of the RoHS exemption expiring at the end of ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

The reasons why it’s best, or perhaps not a good idea, to bring your PCB/SMT assembly in-house. How to select the PCB/SMT equipment you’ll need to get started—stencil printer, pick-and-place machine, ...

Apple reportedly will be making a rare investment to expand surface mounting technology (SMT) assembly capacity at its partners to satisfy demand for its miniLED-backlit devices including the ...
